Hello,
I am tearing apart my '59 Siesta and found the 2 windows in the front leaked and caused a lot of water damage. I noticed the original windows were built right into the walls directly, unlike the other windows that were built with the metal frames as 1 self contained unit.
These windows were not self contained units, they were just 1 piece of glass built right into the walls, so they have no metal frame. Is this normal?
Would it be a bad idea too to it the same way and just replace the glass pieces without using a self contained window? I think it would be easier, but not sure how well it will stay sealed over the years.
Thank you.
